Social Security is a vital lifeline for millions of Americans, including widows and children. The prospect of reduced staffing and customer service delays at the Social Security Administration is deeply concerning. Congress must take action to ensure this essential program remains fully funded and able to efficiently serve its beneficiaries who have paid into the system their entire working lives. Cuts that undermine Social Security's capacity would be devastating, especially for vulnerable families like yours that rely on these benefits for basic financial security. I urge you to allocate sufficient resources to maintain and improve customer service levels at the SSA, preventing disruptions that could jeopardize timely payment delivery and access to information. Protecting and strengthening Social Security should be a top priority.
